A solo developer is making a Steam game where players take on the role of a farmer who must single-handedly separate wheat from chaff 10,000,000 times. Steam seems to have found a new subgenre of viral games that task players with organizing huge quantities of items. But this new title aims to take the formula to extremes.

Tidying up a messy inventory is often seen as one of the not-so-popular aspects of most farming simulation games. Many of them even come with built-in mechanics to automatically sort things or at least make the process easier. But one upcoming indie game is seemingly capitalizing on that exact aspect, requiring players to organize an unbelievable number of items for a brief rush of dopamine.

A brand-new zombie game that lets players build squads to fight infected creatures earns rave reviews shortly after its anticipated release.

A solo developer who goes by SaturaDev on Twitter recently posted a short snippet of " Wheat from the Chaff ," an interesting indie Steam game that's about sorting ten million wheat grains. The painstakingly slow process involves scooping up small amounts of wheat, bringing them to a table, and then manually separating the wheat from the chaff one by one. In the teaser trailer, the player manages to separate six wheat grains from the chaff in about 30 seconds. If an average player's speed remains the same as what's shown in the video, it could take over five years to beat the game, and that's assuming someone treated it like a 9-to-5 job.
